Hi,

I notice that recently this list has been used to make announcements of IAB
policy such as repurposing/scrapping IAB programs.

It is good that the IAB is making those announcements and providing reasons
(even if I don't agree with them :-)

However, surely these announcements should be sent to ietf-announce@ietf.org
so that they can be properly noticed by the community. (You wouldn't want to
find that there was no interest in a sleepy program due to you not telling
people about it!)

This list is described as... 
The architecture-discuss list serves as a technical discussion forum for all
members of the IETF community that are interested in larger architectural
issues. It is meant to be an open discussion forum for all long and/or wide
range architectural concerns related to the Internet Architecture. In
particular, it may be used to discuss and bring forth different points of
view on controversial architectural questions. Discussions that drill down
and dwell on specifics of individual protocols or technologies are to be
discouraged, redirected to appropriate other fora, or re-cast to discussions
of broader implications for Internet architecture. [1]

Or maybe this list needs to be repurposed?

Thanks,
Adrian
